While watching TCM live on Sunday, it froze. I dialed the DISH network #, but before I was able to finish hitting 1 for English, 5 for tech problem, etc., etc., the freeze ended. I was really hoping DISH would be able to look at their TCM channel and see the freeze I was talking about, but since it was over, I hung up before getting through to a person.

It did it just now with Groundhog Day, too.

rkf0513, for the most part, I am keeping my plans for the new Challenge secret at this time; however, I will let everyone breathe easier by saying the new Challenge will have no Guest Programmer this time. After all, in each month of TCM, there is only one night with a GP. That means only one week out of the four or five in a month happens to have a GP. Well, the week you will be programming will be one of the weeks without the GP.
-
Glad to have more wanting to take part. As to other studios, these are good suggestions. I will see what I can find out.
-
I've called DISH and sent an email to TCM. Let's hope for the best that having several people contact both will help.
-
I just noticed a freeze during Sleeper this morning. It looks like the problems are definitely back. I am going to call DISH.
-
February 1st is coming, the start of the new Challenge. I hope many of you will take part in it.

Did anybody happen to catch the last minute change in today's Cartoon Alley? Instead of what was programmed, they ran three of the classic, rarely seen Warner Bros. WWII cartoons: Daffy the Commando, Russian Rhapsody, and Herr Meets Hare. So glad I had C.A. being recorded as always on the DVR.
These weren't scheduled until next Saturday.
I wonder if the TCM programmer created this new group based on my very first Challenge listing from a schedule I did where the Cartoon Alley selection I put together included Russian Rhapsody, Herr Meets Hare, and Falling Hare? It'd be great to know if it was, but I am just ecstatic they are being shown.
The subject of the three is Adolf Hitler (but I did notice in the program listing for it next week, and duplicated in the Now Playing magazine, is they spelled it Adolph.)

However, look at the opportunity I gave for the individual you to voice your opinion. There now isn't that fun.
Just loads. Just as an ordinary poster might say, "Hey, does anyone else here think Robert Clarke sounds like Rock Hudson?" Or as someone other than myself might say, "Hey, doesn't eltone sound remarkably like someone who is patronizing?"
-
Cinema, the Carousel DVD is terrific. I reviewed it in the musicals section of the DVD reviews here. You should love it.
-
I made a film called "The Man From Planet X", I was the lead male role. My name is Robert Clarke.
Mr. Clarke, there's just one slight problem with your posts. Of course, I realize I shouldn't criticize anything in any of your posts here because it's remarkable you could even type them...considering you died in 2005.

Arkadin, the reason there are so many bad copies out there of Beat the Devil and Of Human Bondage is that they are in the public domain, and that means anybody with a copy of a copy of a copy can make a copy and sell it...and, unfortunately, that is what is being done.

lol, hey, we agree for once.

"...without saying "no one respond to this!" which could be taken wrong."
otterhere, when I said "don't respond to this" at the beginning, I also explained that I didn't want to see more fights:
"Come on, everybody, don't respond to this. We already have dealt with this to death in multiple other threads.
Person A will say they are showing more recent films than before. Person B will say they are not/ Person C will chime in, yes, they are. Person D will say here are statistics that show it is the same as it was ten years ago. Person C will come back with, I don't care what the numbers are, I just don't want any recent films during my lifetime. The arguments will start. Nothing will change anyone's opinion and all we have done is given the boards more fighting and anger.
SO DON'T LET IT START AGAIN!!! LET THIS THREAD GO!
jcd, your first post, huh, and what is the name of it, "I Love TCM"? "Thanks TCM for so many great films"? No, it is "Will anything stop the destruction of Turner Classic Movies?" It seems like a post that is written just to create a stir. Please just go read through some of the other threads on this subject. Won't be hard to find."
I was bothered by his insinuation in his second post that that read "Make no mistake: there is no end in sight to this erosion." and I just wanted to skip all the antagonism on the boards because people will start fighting again. So what happened, people responded and the fighting started again.
-
hi, movieman, I am guessing (hoping) that your post was addressed to someone other than me. At the very start of this thread, I asked people to just let this post go, ignore it because all the poster did was go over something that had been done to death recently and I also thought that for his very first post picking a title, "Will anything stop the destruction of Turner Classic Movies," made it seem like an attempt just to stir up a ruckus again. And, sigh, it did.
The original poster has probably gone over to a message board site devoted to WWII and is likely stating that the Holocaust never happened.
-
But the choice of that word speaks volumes as to what one faction thinks of the other faction's opinion on this subject: not much
lol, and one faction's opinion of facts: not at all

Well, at times my apartment resembles J.P.Patches's shack (oldtimers in the Seattle area would get that reference), but framed poster-wise I have an Oscar poster painted by Alex Ross (and signed), a special-issued Warner Bros. poster showing the filming of the airport scene with Bogie and Bergman from "Casablanca", a 6-sheet of "To Sir With Love", a cast signed "Love Actually" 1-sheet, two lobby cards from The Court Jester, a repro Superman the Movie poster (one of the send-in giveaways from the Superman Ultimate DVD Collection), three small poster collages (one with the signature of Billy Wilder, one with the signature of Robert Wise, and one with the signature of Jane Wyatt), an original drawing by a newspaper artist from the Thirties of Laurence Olivier, Katherine Cornell, and another actress, signed by all three and the artist, to do with a play they were touring in. More movie stuff is stored in boxes or on shelves (such as a Don Knotts-signed "Ghost and Mr. Chicken" 1-sheet, a Robert Morse-and-Michelle Lee-signed 1-sheet of How To Succeed in Business without Really Trying).
-
No, but I can tell you that Katherine Hepburn and Laurence Olivier both would be 100 in May and they did a TV-movie called "Love Among the Ruins".
-
patful, I watched Suzy last night on my DVR and I didn't notice any freeze at all and I have DISH, too. Did yours last more than a few seconds or like before was it a few minutes?
-
You're a kinder man than I, Kyle.

Geez, this is probably going to go the whole 21 Questions, when you will let us have the giveaway clue. lol, I have to warn you, though, if this is some obscure film, you are going to have a lot of very ticked people to deal with, lol.
Alright, what about Shadow of a Doubt? And, no, don't ask me how that ties into early telemarketing or a torn coat, because I don't know.
-
Hey, maybe my request for a British Sunday Theater is starting to emerge (even if it was during the week, lol).
I am really happy to see TCM getting into other studios now.
-
I find it hard to believe that my cable provider is responsible.
Whoa, I can believe a cable company is capable of anything. That's why, after years of frustration, I switched to satellite.
-
I think the reason there may not be an article because this is the first time it has been on TCM, isn't it? Sometimes it takes awhile for an article to be placed.

MacHead, as far as Groundhog Day, I was watching that live and saw the freeze, and you do miss a few minutes of the movie because when it comes back it is at a point where it would be in real time if the freeze had not occured.
